"My Elohim hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths."
— Daniel 6:22
Daniel loved Yahuah with all his heart! Even when it was scary, Daniel was brave and did what was right. Let's learn from his amazing stories!
We learn with the 4 Rs!
Daniel was a young boy who lived in a land called Judah. He loved Yahuah very much! But one day, a powerful king named Nebuchadnezzar came with a big army and took Daniel far away to Babylon.
Even though Daniel was far from home, he never forgot Yahuah. He prayed every day and always did what was right!
Name: Daniel (it means "Elohim is my judge")
Home: Judah, then taken to Babylon
What he did: Prayed every day, told the king's dreams!
"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself."
— Daniel 1:8
Draw a picture of Daniel praying:
Even when things are hard, we can still love Yahuah and pray every day - just like Daniel!
The king of Babylon wanted Daniel and his friends to eat the king's fancy food. But this food was NOT what Yahuah said was good to eat!
Daniel was brave! He asked if he could eat vegetables and water instead. The king's helper was worried - what if Daniel got sick?
Daniel said, "Test us for 10 days!" After 10 days, Daniel and his friends looked healthier and stronger than everyone else!
"Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink."
— Daniel 1:12
(Pulse means vegetables and grains!)
Circle the foods Daniel might have eaten:
| 🥕 Carrots | 🍔 Burger | 🍎 Apple |
| 🍬 Candy | 🥦 Broccoli | 🍞 Bread |
Tell someone the story of Daniel's healthy choice!
I told the story!
We should eat what Yahuah says is good for us! Our bodies are a gift from Him!
Daniel had three best friends: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego!
One day, King Nebuchadnezzar made a giant golden statue. He said, "Everyone must bow down to my statue or be thrown into a fiery furnace!"
But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego would NOT bow down. They only worshiped Yahuah!
The king was SO angry! He made the fire SEVEN times hotter and threw them in!
The king looked into the fire and saw FOUR people walking around!
"Didn't we throw THREE men in? I see FOUR, and the fourth looks like the Son of Elohim!"
Yahuah sent His angel to protect them! They walked out without a single burn - not even the smell of smoke!
"Our Elohim whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace."
— Daniel 3:17
Draw Shadrach, Meshach, Abed-nego, and the angel in the fire:
We only worship Yahuah - no one else! He will always be with us, even in scary times!
Daniel was now very old. A new king named Darius loved Daniel because Daniel was so wise and honest.
But some bad men were jealous of Daniel! They tricked the king into making a law: "No one can pray to anyone except the king for 30 days, or they will be thrown to the LIONS!"
Did Daniel stop praying? NO! He opened his window and prayed to Yahuah three times a day, just like always!
The bad men caught Daniel praying. King Darius was SO sad, but he had to follow his own law. Daniel was thrown into a pit full of hungry lions!
The king couldn't sleep all night. In the morning, he ran to the lion's den and called out: "Daniel! Did your Elohim save you?"
"My Elohim sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths! They have not hurt me!"
Daniel was safe! The lions didn't touch him!
"My Elohim hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me."
— Daniel 6:22
Draw Daniel safe with the lions:
Pretend to be Daniel praying! Fold your hands and bow your head three times.
I acted it out!
Keep praying no matter what! Yahuah hears our prayers and protects us!
Years later, there was a new king named Belshazzar. He was NOT a good king! He had a big party and used the special cups from Yahuah's Temple to drink from. This was very wrong!
Suddenly, a HAND appeared and started writing on the wall!
The king was terrified! No one could read the strange words. They called for Daniel!
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN
Daniel read the words and told the king what they meant:
That very night, the kingdom was taken over! Yahuah's message came true!
"This is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."
— Daniel 5:25
Draw the hand writing on the wall:
We must respect Yahuah and His things! He sees everything we do!
Yahuah gave Daniel the ability to understand dreams and visions! When kings had dreams they couldn't understand, they called Daniel.
King Nebuchadnezzar had a scary dream about a giant statue made of different metals. No one could tell him what it meant - except Daniel!
Yahuah showed Daniel exactly what the dream meant. It told about kingdoms that would come in the future!
"There is an Elah in heaven that revealeth secrets."
— Daniel 2:28
Draw what you think the king's dream looked like (a big statue!):
When Yahuah gives us gifts, we should always thank Him and give Him the praise!
Daniel was brave in many ways:
Write or draw one way you will be brave like Daniel:
I promise to be brave! Signed:
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid... for Yahuah thy Elohim is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
— Joshua 1:9
